1.1.3 Glaciated Landscapes

• Glaciated landscapes are shaped by the erosional and depositional processes of glaciers
• Processes such as erosion and deposition are key to shaping glaciated landscapes
• What are corries shaped by?

  Glacial erosion
• Match the glacial process with its effect:

  Plucking ↔️ Removal of rocks by freezing

  Abrasion ↔️ Grinding of rocks by debris
• What are the two primary processes that shape glaciated landscapes?

  Glacial erosion and deposition
• What process creates sharp, jagged ridges in glaciated landscapes?

  Glacial erosion
• What are the two specific processes of glacial erosion?

  Plucking and abrasion
• Glaciated landscapes are shaped by both erosion and deposition.


  True
• Plucking involves glaciers freezing onto rocks and pulling them away.


  True
• Glacial erosion and deposition are the only processes that shape glaciated landscapes.

  False
• Match the landform with its description:

  Corries ↔️ Bowl-shaped depressions carved by glaciers

  Arêtes ↔️ Sharp, jagged ridges formed by erosion

  Moraines ↔️ Ridges of rock debris deposited by glaciers

  Drumlins ↔️ Streamlined hills formed by glacial sediment
• Glaciated landscapes are characterized by a range of distinctive erosional and depositional landforms.

  True
• Glaciated landscapes are shaped by the continuous processes of erosion and deposition.


  True
• The combination of erosion and deposition in glaciated landscapes results in a unique and varied terrain.


  True
• Match the erosional landform with its description:

  Corries ↔️ Bowl-shaped depressions

  Arêtes ↔️ Sharp, jagged ridges

  Pyramidal peaks ↔️ Steep-sided, pointed peaks
• Glaciated landscapes are defined by erosional and depositional landforms shaped over time.


  True
• Eskers are sinuous ridges of sand and gravel deposited by meltwater streams
• Glacial erosion occurs through processes like plucking and abrasion
• A drumlin is formed by the deposition of glacial sediment
• A corrie is a bowl-shaped depression carved by glacial erosion
• Moraines are ridges of rock debris deposited by a glacier
• Corries are bowl-shaped depressions carved by glacial erosion through plucking and abrasion
• What processes contribute to the formation of corries?

  Plucking and abrasion
• How are glaciated landscapes defined?

  By the erosional and depositional processes of glaciers
• Arêtes are sharp, jagged ridges formed by the erosion of glaciers on either side.

  True
• Corries are bowl-shaped depressions carved by glacial erosion.


  True
• Drumlins are elongated, streamlined hills formed by glacial deposition.

  True
• What is abrasion in the context of glacial erosion?

  Grinding of rocks against land
• What are corries carved by?

  Plucking and abrasion
• When are moraines deposited by a glacier?

  During glacial movement
• Order the erosional landforms from most common to least common in glaciated landscapes.

  1️⃣ Corries

  2️⃣ Arêtes

  3️⃣ Pyramidal peaks
• Match the erosional landform with its description:

  Corries ↔️ Bowl-shaped depressions

  Arêtes ↔️ Sharp, jagged ridges

  Pyramidal peaks ↔️ Steep-sided, pointed mountain peaks
• Eskers are sinuous ridges of sand and gravel deposited by meltwater streams
• Order the steps involved in the formation of a glaciated landscape:

  1️⃣ Glacial erosion carves erosional landforms

  2️⃣ Glaciers deposit sediment and debris

  3️⃣ Depositional landforms are created
• Match the depositional landform with its description:

  Moraines ↔️ Ridges of rock debris

  Drumlins ↔️ Streamlined, elongated hills

  Eskers ↔️ Sinuous ridges of sand and gravel
• Drumlins are elongated, streamlined hills formed by the deposition of glacial sediment
• Glaciated landscapes are characterized by distinctive landforms created by glacial activity.


  True
• Glaciated landscapes are landscapes shaped by the erosional and depositional processes of glaciers
• Moraines are ridges of rock debris deposited by a glacier
• Glacial deposition creates landforms such as moraines and drumlins
